Estimation of the UV susceptibility of aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 to 254 nm irradiation using CFD-based room disinfection simulations

Scientific Reports
The recent COVID-19 pandemic has raised interest in efficient air disinfection solutions. The application of germicidal ultraviolet (GUV) irradiation is an excellent contender to prevent airborne transmission of COVID-19, as well as other existing and ...

The Lectin LecA Sensitizes the Human Stretch-Activated Channel TREK-1 but Not Piezo1 and Binds Selectively to Cardiac Non-myocytes

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
The healthy heart adapts continuously to a complex set of dynamically changing mechanical conditions. The mechanical environment is altered by, and contributes to, multiple cardiac diseases.

Impact of Extended Starobinsky Model on Evolution of Anisotropic, Vorticity-free Axially Symmetric Sources

, 2015
We study the implications of $R^n$ extension of Starobinsky model on dynamical instability of Vorticity-free axially symmetric gravitating body. The matter distribution is considered to be anisotropic for which modified field equations are formed in ...

Diacetylene‐Functionalized Glycan Mimetics for Receptor‐Mediated Cluster Imprinting in Model Membranes

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Diacetylene‐containing glycan mimetics cluster upon selective lectin binding in GUVs. Subsequent irradiation leads to the formation of fluorescent polymer clusters, while non‐clustered glycan mimetics remain unaffected in the membrane. ABSTRACT The glycocalyx, a dense layer of glycoproteins and glycolipids on eukaryotic cells, is essential for cellular

Generalized Kahler Geometry and the Pluriclosed Flow

, 2012
In prior work the authors introduced a parabolic flow for pluriclosed metrics, referred to as pluriclosed flow. We also demonstrated that this flow, after certain gauge transformations, gives a class of solutions to the renormalization group flow of the ...

Advances in Elemene Nanodelivery Systems: From Material Design to Disease Treatment

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Elemene (ELE) is a bioactive sesquiterpenoid extracted from traditional Chinese herbs, demonstrating broad‐spectrum antitumor, anti‐inflammatory, and analgesic properties with significant therapeutic potential. However, its clinical utility is constrained by inherent physicochemical limitations, including volatility and hydrophobicity, which ...

Relationship between oligoarginine-induced membrane damage of single Escherichia coli cells and entry of the peptide into the cytoplasm

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports
Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) can enter the cytosol of eukaryotic cells without killing them whereas some CPPs exhibit antimicrobial activity against bacterial cells.

A characterization of extremal graphs without matching-cuts [PDF]

, 2005
A graph is called (matching-)immune if it has no edge cut that is also a matching. Farley and Proskurowski proved that for all immune graphs $G=(V,E)$, $|E|\geq \lceil 3(|V|-1)/2\rceil$, and constructed a large class of immune graphs attaining this ...

Solvent‐Mediated Dewetting Principles for Cell‐Sized Liposome Formation

Small, EarlyView.
Dynamics of solvent‐mediated dewetting for giant unilamellar liposome formation. Solvent removal, through changing lipid packing and membrane tension, is shown to induce partial dewetting into equilibrium low and high budding angle morphologies. Complete dewetting requires mechanical force, quantified using optical tweezers.
